I've read reviews where providers do not have a bi experience, do not have sex with multiple male partners, and do not perform anal...Yet, they have a 10 in performance.

How is this possible?  Is the score based on what you offer, or what you perform during a rendezvous?

The review score is based on what you offer, not what happens during the session.

Number 7, her max score is based on what is offered, not what occurs during the session. Also, her offering to perform those services doesn't automatically mean she gets that higher score, merely that she's eligible for it.

When submitting a review, if you put no or don't know for all the items listed that would make a provider eligible for scores above 7, and then put performance as 8, the system should kick it back and explain that you need to change your performance score and why. This exact thing happened to me when I wrote my first review.

However, my understanding is, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, that unless a guy is submitting a providers first review, what he selects on all those drop downs for services offered and physical description will not change what is displayed on her  profile. So, he can select that she offers anal and BBBJ, never mention either in his juicy details section, and nobody would ever know he did so because the service offered on the providers profile is only changed if someone submits a trouble report.  I've seen profiles of providers who have been reviewed a dozen times since she got her D cup implants, but the profile says B cup.  I've seen reviews of body rub gals where the juicy details section doesn't mention anything more than handiwork and the performance score is a ten. I doubt anyone is gonna sit down and write a review for a massage and forget to mention there were two women there and he got a BBBJ as part of the process. But, he can mark those items as yes, the system allows the ten score, and nobody ever knows he was claiming she offered that.

Also, maybe the admins, or whatever you call the people who read over the new reviews before they're posted, occasionally miss one of these errors. I would think that could be automated, since it's all based on selections made on drop down menus, but I dunno.

Does that help? I probably could've explained it better, but it makes sense in my head.

...what is performed.

See the link below.

After you read the link I provided scroll down to the heading "What are the guidelines for submitting a review?" It's a lot to read but the rating guidelines are mentioned again. This is where the "more than one guy" is added as an extra service qualifying a provider for a score higher then 7.
 
But it still says it's not what's performed during the session being reviewed it's what's offered on the profile that is the qualifying factor.

For your insightful and informative replies to my question!

...and only an act of God will make TER correct it.

I just posted something about this on the Suggestion board. I was wondering how you VERIFY the claim that something is offered. DFK, BBBJ and Anal will surely come up with at least a few or more reviewers, even accounting for the occasional YMMV "No". Too many "No"s and the max score should be throttled back.  

But claims of Bi and MMF are harder to verify. A massage girl is eligible for a 7-max and can earn a top 7-out-of-7 score. She can then claim that she is really bi and does MMF and earn a top score of 9-out-of-9 even from a regular MF session. But it's too easy to avoid the Big Test. "I spoke to your girl friend and I don't think we're a good match. Let's stick to just the two of us." "I read that Provider's reviews and she's seen some guys I'm not comfortable with so I don't want to do a duo with her." "I really like MMF but I couldn't verify your M friend in time." "The incall I use will be too suspicious if two guys show up." ... Lots of other reasonable excuses to never find out if claims of "Bi" and "MMF" are real or not.

It all comes back to the rating system in general and that gets discussed every now and then. How about just -1, 0, +1?  If that's too complicated, how about just -1 / +1? Ultimately, whatever the rating system, I read the written reviews

Good points.
I have flagged a few providers profiles where I know for a fact that they aren't truly bi- either we discussed it thru emails or I set up a playdate and it became painfully obvious that they weren't very girl-friendly. But it's so easy for many to claim that they are "really bi" by doing 3somes and totally snowing the male hobbyist. That way they can get those higher scores. But they can't hide their awkwardness in a one-on-one session. I figure that I am one of only a small handful of mongers that can properly call them out. But TER refuses to change their profiles, basing their decision on previous  "successful" 3somes!!!! It's ridiculous!

and, based upon the communications I have had with some of them them, for some English is not their first language.  Their evaluations and application of the "rules" has not been consistent in my experience.

The difference between a performance score of "9" and "10" may only be a service that was allegedly "offered" but not utilized; that is why I always read the reviews.
